E-books are a relatively recent invention. They are popular for a great many of reasons. An e-reader takes up much less rooms in a suitcase: perfect for people who had to take several books on holiday. Besides, lots of people don’t reread books; an e-reader mean they don’t end up with a house filling with books they’ll never look at again. People say they’re more environmentally friendly: no trees cut down for paper, or no ink is needed. However successfully these devices are, nothing can beat an appeal of a genuine book for me. After all, if I’m short in cash, I can always go to the library and borrow books for free!
【答案】
【1】of去掉
【2】rooms→room
【3】had→have
【4】mean→means
【5】filling→filled
【6】trees后面加are
【7】or→and
【8】successfully→successful
【9】an→the
【10】in→of
【解析】
【1】of去掉 考查固定词组。a great many+名词复数,表示“很多,许多”,故把of去掉。
【2】rooms→room 考查名词的单复数。room在这里表示“空间”,room作“空间”讲是不可数名词,故把rooms改为room。
【3】had→have 考查时态。本文用的是一般现在时,故把had改为have。
【4】mean→means 考查主谓一致。本句的主语是an e-reader,应该用第三人称单数形式。故把mean改为means。
【5】filling→filled 考查非谓语动词。房间是被填满的,故应该用过去分词表示被动。故把filling改为filled。
【6】trees后面加are 考查被动语态。树是被砍,应该用被动语态。被动语态:be+v-ed,故在trees后面加are。
【7】or→and 考查连词。前后表示并列关系,故要用and连接。故把or改为and。
【8】successfully→successful 考查词性。修饰名词devices,应该用形容词形式,故把successfully改为successful。
【9】an→the 考查冠词。此处表示特指,故把an改为the。
【10】in→of 考查固定词组。be short of缺乏;缺少,故把in改为of。
